Selwood’s “chicken-wing” tackle on North Melbourne’s Sam Wright drew criticism from several prominent observers, including his predecessor as Cats skipper, Cameron Ling, who predicted a suspension of one or two weeks.

“I do not like seeing that at all,” Ling told Channel Seven.

“The risk of injury there is super high on Sam Wright.”

Recently-retired Carlton great Chris Judd received a four-match ban for a chicken-wing tackle on North Melbourne’s Leigh Adams back in 2012, although that incident was more serious as Judd was not involved in the initial tackle.

In-form Collingwood onballer Taylor Adams can expect to be sanctioned for repeatedly kneeing Port Adelaide’s Justin Westhoff in the head during Thursday night’s clash at Adelaide Oval.
